Moto G4 Plus vs Moto X Style/Pure - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a Moto X Style/Pure, the 16gb model, and I wondering if anybody has this yet that could tell me if going for more storage and ram is worth the switch. I love the idea of 4gb ram/64gb of storage but 4gb ram with 617 processor vs 3gb ram 808 processor

Wow, i have both and i love both, one with my personal number and other with my work number.

So would go as far as to say there's a real sacrifice going from the x to g plus?

Damn.... i love the x screen but the g camera is awesome

I am in a dilemma which one to buy. My usage pretty much consists of browsing and social media apps and a decent camera. I don't game on phone.
Wondering which one to buy. I just need a phone that is a smooth UX. No stutter or lag on basic usage and multi-tasking.
Heard Moto G4 Plus' Camera problem, that is gets hot and takes time to focus?
Is Moto X Style(16GB variant) really worth it for extra $90?

Let´s make it easier, what about g4 plus vs x play? Dont answer on comparisons from the spec/ info etc , I'm looking for the input from someone that have used the 2 phones if possible ... battery life, screen quality ...
Thanx

Particularly for me as a user who doesn't play games, SD 615 is good enough.
Fingerprint sensor is for the time being just for securing your phone.
I don't feel absence of gyro sensor.
Stereo speakers yeah feel it's absence but even the single one of mxp is loud enough. ?
Moreover the stock android is for what I bought mxp.

Stock Android and Xda Development is the reason why you should stick with Moto X

You know Lenovo owns Motorola
Sure I know. But they better go the other direction - make Lenovo like Motorola. Not the opposite.

Lenovo is way bigger overseas, Motorola is small potatoes compared to Samsung or Apple

I used to buy and use a Lenovo phone, so have to say that it's good enough to ignore complaints from people who haven't tried it before.
About Vibe X3 vs X Play
- If you take much time on taking pictures with good captures I'd recommend X Play
- If you you spend most of your time playing games, I'd recommend both (scaled scores: 8.5 for Vibe & 8 for X Play)
- If you plan to grab version updates, I'd recommend X Play (Lenevo is quite lazy to keep their devices on tree of updates)
- It's plain to see that Vibe X3 going along with better performance with snap 808 in comparison with snap 615 from X Play; 3BG of Ram much more than 2GB of X Play.
Finally, if you don't much care on the logo appeared in your phone, just grab what you like.
:fingers-crossed:
vibe p1 may be better,5000mah battery

Hi everyone.
I am torn apart among Moto G4 Plus, Motorola's last year flagship Moto X Style and Honor 8. I would appreciate any ideas and pros and cons. I am not a gamer, but my device is normally loaded with apps. Camera is very important, fluid and lag free performance is also a must.
Thank you very much in advance.

I think I will also order the G4 Plus.

Moto X Play vs Moto G4 Plus, still worth buying?

Hello,
I noticed that now that the G4 Plus has 3000mah battery and snapdragon 615 (and similar prices) I was wondering if it's still worth it getting this X Play mainly for battery life.
Is it possible that the newer processor with better software optimization gets the same experience for the battery life even though the X Play has more raw juice?

My take is you won't get as good battery backup but should still get a full day's usage without much problems. Same cores, built on same process cloked a bit differently.
Only reasons I see for getting g4 plus is dual bandwidth faster memory, more storage (depending what play model u get), better camera in some situations and fingerprint scanner (if that's of importance to you)
Thinner and more lightweight, and barely wider or longer..
Not sure but I think it may have gyro sensor As well (g4 plus)
A guy in a german forum said the g4 plus "camera" is not far as good as the x Play one and he stays at his x Play
No NFC is a dealbreaker anyway for me
What about G4 non plus?
If the soc is only 10% more powerful and using the same architecture then I don't think the battery life with be comparable, X Play with 600mah more will beat it.
X Play is pre-Lenovo, just saying…

Is it possible to set Mic gain in Moto G5 plus?

I read in several forums about the audio problem of the microphone located next to the camera in the Moto G5 plus. Is there any application to set the gain level of that microphone? I use my smartphone to record rehearsals and using the stereo recording option, the quality is very good but it quickly becomes saturated, and that does not happen with other smartphones.

Proper Motorola replacement for Moto X Pure (Republic Wireless compatible)

Motorola sent us a Z2 Play as a replacement for my wife's X Pure. It seemed on the surface like an upgrade, but I looked up some specs and benchmarks on passmark and phonescoop and I'm second guessing our decision.
I don't think they'll go for something higher priced like a Z3 Play (It's $100 more than what we paid), but I'm looking for suggestions on what I should ask them for. It has to be a Motorola and it has to be compatible with Republic Wireless.
I realize no matter what, we're losing out on the camera. I have yet to see anything close to the 21MP camera on the Pure. I also don't know if they would give us a credit for the full amount and we could buy the higher priced z3 play.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Here are the supported BYOP phones for RW.
Moto E4 (XT1768)1
Moto E4 Plus (XT1775)1
Moto G5 Plus (XT1687)1
Moto G5S Plus (XT1806)1
Moto G6 (XT1925-6)1
Moto G6 Play (XT1922-9)1
Moto X4 (XT1900-1)1
Moto Z3 Play (XT1929-4)1
Moto G4 (XT1625)1
Moto G4 PLAY (XT1607)1
Moto G4 PLUS (XT1644)1
Moto X Pure Edition (XT1575)1
Moto Z (XT1650-03)1
Moto Z Play (XT1635-02)1
Moto Z2 Play (XT1710-01)1
The speaker isn't as loud on the z3 play but it sounds really clear. The screen isn't quite as bright in bright sunlight but the battery life is so much better with the z3 play. I love it. Am not sorry I got it. Best buy met Amazon's price. I just wish I could figure out a mod compatible case to use with the battery pack they throw in with the deal. Can you tell what I think you should do?!?
